Having been in the business for these years, although not for a long ti, Duan Yun has seen enough of the peculiar.
But in this absurd world, there's always so much new peculiarity to behold.
People fear the unknown, yet they also feel curious about it.
Now Duan Yun is interested in the owner of the voice in the small cave, and the "ancestor" deep behind the ancestral hall.
After all, from the mont they ca in, the rouge on their faces hasn't faded thanks to this "ancestor."
And could the owner of this voice be that ancestor?
Duan Yun and Ziyu decide to investigate.
But at this mont, Ziyu hesitates a bit, and Duan Yun can't help asking, "What's wrong?"
"It's getting dark," Ziyu replies.
Duan Yun looks at the dark underground scene outside and says, "Are you sure? When it gets dark, there's also..."
Ziyu nods and says, "Because Green Jade is about to wake up."
Duan Yun suddenly understands, realizing she ans Green Jade is about to wake up.
He quickly comforts, "Sisters are the sa, just co along."
"Got it," Ziyu answers.
For so reason, her tone carries a hint of disappointnt.
Duan Yun is unaware that the phrase "sisters are the sa" feels quite hurtful to Ziyu.
It ans she's not much different from the woman who only moves for a couple of hours each night.
What exactly does that woman do at night?
At this mont, Duan Yun turns and says, "No."
Ziyu quickly asks, "What's wrong?"
"If it's Green Jade, does she know the way?" Duan Yun asks.
Duan Yun has a bit of a talent for getting lost, and the routes in this underground mansion are complicated; it's quite a distant trip from here to the ancestral hall, with many twists and turns.
But Ziyu shows her advantage.
She's excellent at rembering paths, practically a walking map.
Ziyu says, "Don't worry, she knows too."
Since the route isn't a problem, everything is ready, and they just need to set off.
However, Ziyu glances at the room beside them.
Her aning is clear, that these people might expose them.
With soone like Wang Lifei, they might run off to snitch as soon as they leave.
After all, these days, they've been required to stay in this courtyard, forbidden from going elsewhere.
Duan Yun thinks, "Once we find the secret, we'll wipe them out quickly, it's not very..."
"No, they could give us away and affect our quest for the secret."
Next mont, Duan Yun appears in Wang Lifei's room.
Wang Lifei didn't even see how Duan Yun got in.
"What are you..."
Before Wang Lifei could finish speaking, Duan Yun pointed in mid-air, and he suddenly beca dumb, unable to speak.
Wang Lifei knew he had been hit on the Dumb Acupoint.
A thod like pointing acupoint from a distance can only be executed by top-notch masters.
He hurriedly tried to run outside, but with another point from Duan Yun in mid-air, his body turned stiff and then fell down hard.
Instinctively, Wang Lifei tried to use Inner Strength to unblock his acupoints.
But, as he had feared, he couldn't budge it an inch.
Compared to the opponent's acupoint intensity, his current strength was probably no more than a golden needle mushroom.
Then, Wang Lifei saw Duan Yun's rouge-covered face, echoing an expression of extre terror.
Who'd have thought, this tough-mouthed guy who appeared out of nowhere was a master among masters.
At this mont, Wang Lifei also realized why his sonic vibrations were ineffective at that ti.
What kind of ordinary people would just cover their ears and withstand it?
At this point, Duan Yun lifted him up and turned him around, making him face the other way.
Wang Lifei's expression changed again, from extre terror to the kind that says "Jie, no!"
With a thud, he was knocked unconscious, with an additional slly sock sohow appearing in his mouth.
Duan Yun looked at the guy, thinking if he could survive this stench, it was his destiny.
As for these two newcors who entered with them, Duan Yun barely considered them outsiders, so he didn't kill them directly.
The next colleague received a similar treatnt.
After dealing with the two of them, Duan Yun and Ziyu set off.
Just after passing through an outside alley, Ziyu suddenly paused and her gaze changed.
It beca mischievous.
"Green Jade, you're awake," Duan Yun said.
Compared to Ziyu, Green Jade looked more like a bad woman.
The kind who could toy with n like dogs.
However, in front of Duan Yun, she seed to be the one being played with.
Green Jade took over the task of figuring out the route and said while walking, "I'll guide you, what will you give in return?"
"I'm not a fool like Ziyu, who wants nothing."
Duan Yun asked, "Then what do you want?"
"I want you, will you give yourself?"
Duan Yun replied, "No, if I were to give myself, I'd give your sister."
Green Jade wrinkled her nose and said, "Boring!"
...
The road ahead was filled with those corridors.
In the corridors were rocks and flowers.
The flowers inside, of unknown breed, blood vibrantly despite the sunless environnt.
Beyond the corridors, there were rooms such as those often found in large mansions.
Under the red glow of the fire, it seed ghostly, as if a ghost bride might pop out at any mont.
Occasionally, there were burnt incense, wax, and paper money along the roadside, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
It's like there was a group of "people" invisible to them living in this underground world.
The mansion was vast with winding paths, and after walking for two cups of tea's ti, they finally reached the ancestral hall.
